OK, I read it as well as the full batch of nonsense that is named
LICENSE. I understand better and I also understand better why an
experience DD was doing what I initially called "debconf abuse".

No, that seems fine, after some thinking.

Feel free to either close this bug or mark it "wontfix". I'd suggest

the same issue being reported.

*Now*, I will launch the debconf review (even if, at first glance, I
don't see much things to change/adapt).
